Flash movies (.swf), AVI’s (.avi), and MOV’s (.mov) file types are supported by the embed tag.

The listings above are the most commonly used formats for the internet. “.mpeg” files and Macromedia’s .swf files are the most compact and widely used among the internet. Stick to any of the file types above for use with your web pages.

Videos can be embedded into your html documents (web pages) two different ways. One method is to use the <embed /> tag to display your media file. The embed tag does not require a closing tag. In fact, it works much like the image tag. A src attribute must be defined by the correct URL (local or global) in order for the video file to be displayed correctly. Here is a look at the embed tag with a global URL, feel free to use this URL while you practice.

Portable Network Graphics (PNG) is a bitmapped image format that employs lossless data compression. PNG was created to improve upon and replace the GIF format, as an image-file format not requiring a patent license. It is pronounced /?p??/ ping^[1] or spelled out as P-N-G. The PNG initialism is optionally recursive, unofficially standing for “PNG’s Not GIF”.^[2]

PNG supports palette-based (palettes of 24-bit RGB colors), greyscale or RGB images. PNG was designed for transferring images on the Internet, not professional graphics, and so does not support other color spaces (such as CMYK).
